The NZ Metservice has the most accurate and up-to-date weather conditions for the tracks and trails around Fiordland National Park.

It is an alpine environment and conditions can change very very quickly. Don't be caught out - make a plan, prepare well, and check the weather.

Mike and Kiyomi are both passionate about the New Zealand environment.

Kiyomi has worked as a guide on the Routeburn Track since 2005 and Mike has been guiding various New Zealand tracks since 2002.

The idea for the Trackhopper service came from a chance meeting with Heaphy Track legend, Derry Kingston, who operates a similar service.

We realised a relocation service was exactly what was needed for the Routeburn Track and Trackhopper was born.
